From The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams:

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

Mad Men is pretty good.

There is game I like to play when walking to and from places. It doesn’t have a name… or a point, but it’s something to do while I walk.

The Game

Pick out an object a few feet in front of your path. It can be a stick, puddle, or crack. Whatever. Just pick one out.

Then guess whether you will step on it with your left foot or your right foot.

If you guess correctly, you win and you get to say “FUCK YEAH” to yourself, in your head.

If you guess incorrectly, you lose and you only get to say “FUCK”.

And that’s it.

Observations

Here are two related observations I’ve made while playing this game:

1. You will come up with a guess you are pretty sure of within a second. It will probably be correct.
2. If it takes more than a second or you can’t make up your mind, you will step over the object.

There’s probably some scientific term for that second phenomenon but I don’t feel like researching it.

So that’s it. This is the type of stuff I come up with when I’m bored.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if hair grew up to a certain length and then stopped? Imagine how our lives would be different. Would social status would be based on the length of your hair? Would barbers exist? Would we now have a new form of prejudice called hairism? What kind of interesting hair products would be created from this? Would the average male hair length be shorter or longer than female hair length?

This is the type of stuff I think about when I can’t sleep.
